Topic: Rumor trade on ATH: Atlanta-Brooklyn (Read 1609 times)

On Around The Horn, they was talking Atlanta-Brooklyn trade. Hawks trade Josh Smith to Brooklyn for Kris Humphries, Marshawn Brooks, and a 1st..they said its a rumor going around. Question is, would u do it if u are Atlanta or Brooklyn?? If i was the Nets, I do it in a second!!

I would rather let J.Smith's deal run out than take on an extra year of Humphries' contract at $12 million a season. A first and Marshon Brooks doesn't make that $12 million worthwhile. Just let him leave for nothing and spend the cap space on somebody useful. They can always pick up a package similar to Brooks + 1st by renting out the cap space to another team for a different bad contract later on. The risk is minimal.

I know there was noise from Hawks before about wanting a Center in any move for Smoove.

Humphries hasn't been playing well this year compared to the last two and he's not a center, and Brooks after performing when he got a lot of touches on a poor Nets team last year where no one else could score has reverted back to the mean of mediocrity.

Also, the first from the Nets is gonna be in the mid to high twenties, espp.with Smith.

I guess it depends on how despearte Ferry is, but there must be other packages out there that would be more attractive. E.g.Jeff Green, Sullinger, Melo and a first, just as a hypothetical, not a real offer.

I am by no means a big Josh Smith fan, but that is a terrible trade for Atlanta. Humphries is essentially a negative contract right now, Brooks is okay, but certainly not a future star, and a late first round pick in a questionable draft can simply be bought.

Kris Humphries sucks now that he's getting paid, Marshon Brooks only plays at one end of the court, and a New Jersey pick isn't worth much. Just nothing in that package worth giving up a borderline star for.

New Jersey?

Er, Brooklyn. My bad. I still haven't entirely kicked the habit of calling them New Jersey, haha.
